پیدایش 38

۱ 1 و واقع شد در آن زمان که یهودا ازنزد برادران خود رفته، نزد شخصی عدلامی، که حیره نام داشت، مهمان شد.

It came about at that time that Judah left his brothers and stayed with a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

۲ 2 و درآنجا یهودا، دختر مرد کنعانی را که مسمی به شوعه بود، دید و او را گرفته، بدو درآمد.

He met there a daughter of a Canaanite man whose name was Shua. He married her and slept with her.

۳ 3 پس آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را عیر نام نهاد.

She became pregnant and had a son. He was named Er.

۴ 4 وبار دیگر آبستن شده، پسری زایید و او را اونان نامید.

She became pregnant again and had a son. She called his name Onan.

۵ 5 و باز هم پسری زاییده، او را شیله نام گذارد. و چون او را زایید، یهودا در کزیب بود.

She again had a son and called his name Shelah. It was at Kezib where she gave birth to him.

۶ 6 و یهودا، زنی مسمی به تامار، برای نخست زاده خود عیر گرفت.

Judah found a wife for Er, his firstborn. Her name was Tamar.

۷ 7 و نخست زاده یهودا، عیر، در نظر خداوند شریر بود، و خداونداو را بمیراند.

Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh. Yahweh killed him.

۸ 8 پس یهودا به اونان گفت: «به زن برادرت درآی، و حق برادر شوهری را بجاآورده، نسلی برای برادر خود پیدا کن.»

Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother's wife. Do the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up a child for your brother.”

۹ 9 لکن چونکه اونان دانست که آن نسل از آن او نخواهدبود، هنگامی که به زن برادر خود درآمد، بر زمین انزال کرد، تا نسلی برای برادر خود ندهد.

Onan knew that the child would not be his. Whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled the semen on the ground so he would not have a child for his brother.

۱۰ 10 و این کار او در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد، پس او را نیزبمیراند.

What he did was evil in the sight of Yahweh. Yahweh killed him also.

۱۱ 11 و یهودا به عروس خود، تامار گفت: «در خانه پدرت بیوه بنشین تا پسرم شیله بزرگ شود.» زیرا گفت: «مبادا او نیز مثل برادرانش بمیرد.» پس تامار رفته، در خانه پدر خود ماند.

Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father's house until Shelah, my son, grows up.” For he feared, “He might also die, just like his brothers.” Tamar left and lived in her father's house.

۱۲ 12 و چون روزها سپری شد، دختر شوعه زن یهودا مرد. و یهودا بعد از تعزیت او با دوست خود حیره عدلامی، نزد پشم‌چینان گله خود، به تمنه آمد.

After a long time, Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

۱۳ 13 و به تامار خبر داده، گفتند: «اینک پدرشوهرت برای چیدن پشم گله خویش، به تمنه می‌آید.»

Tamar was told, “Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

۱۴ 14 پس رخت بیوگی را از خویشتن بیرون کرده، برقعی به رو کشیده، خود را درچادری پوشید، و به دروازه عینایم که در راه تمنه است، بنشست. زیرا که دید شیله بزرگ شده است، و او را به وی به زنی ندادند.

She took off the clothing of her widowhood and covered herself with her veil and wrapped herself. She sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the road to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah had grown up but she had not been given to him as a wife.

۱۵ 15 چون یهودااو را بدید، وی را فاحشه پنداشت، زیرا که روی خود را پوشیده بود.

When Judah saw her he thought that she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.

۱۶ 16 پس از راه به سوی او میل کرده، گفت: «بیا تابه تو درآیم.» زیرا ندانست که عروس اوست. گفت: «مرا چه می‌دهی تا به من درآیی.»

He went to her by the road and said, “Come, please let me sleep with you”—for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law—and she said, “What will you give me so you can sleep with me?”

۱۷ 17 گفت: «بزغاله‌ای از گله می‌فرستم.» گفت: «آیا گرومی دهی تا بفرستی.»

He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” She said, “Will you give me a pledge until you send it?”

۱۸ 18 گفت: «تو را چه گرودهم.» گفت: «مهر و زنار خود را و عصایی که دردست داری.» پس به وی داد، و بدو درآمد، و او ازوی آبستن شد.

He said, “What pledge can I give you?” She replied, “Your seal and cord, and the staff that is in your hand.” He gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.

۱۹ 19 و برخاسته، برفت. و برقع را ازخود برداشته، رخت بیوگی پوشید.

She got up and went away. She took off her veil and put on the clothing of her widowhood.

۲۰ 20 و یهودا بزغاله را به‌دست دوست عدلامی خود فرستاد، تا گرو را از دست آن زن بگیرد، امااو را نیافت.

Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order that he might receive the pledge back from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.

۲۱ 21 و از مردمان آن مکان پرسیده، گفت: «آن فاحشه‌ای که سر راه عینایم نشسته بود، کجاست؟» گفتند: «فاحشه‌ای در اینجا نبود.»

Then the Adullamite asked the men of the place, “Where is the cultic prostitute who was at Enaim by the road?” They said, “There has not been a cultic prostitute here.”

۲۲ 22 پس نزد یهودا برگشته، گفت: «او را نیافتم، ومردمان آن مکان نیز می‌گویند که فاحشه‌ای دراینجا نبود.»

He returned to Judah and said, “I did not find her. Also, the men of the place said, 'There has not been a cultic prostitute here.'”

۲۳ 23 یهودا گفت: «بگذار برای خودنگاه دارد، مبادا رسوا شویم. اینک بزغاله رافرستادم و تو او را نیافتی.»

Judah said, “Let her keep the things, that we not be put to shame. Indeed, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her.”

۲۴ 24 و بعد از سه ماه یهودا را خبر داده، گفتند: «عروس تو تامار، زناکرده است و اینک از زنا نیز آبستن شده.» پس یهودا گفت: «وی را بیرون آرید تا سوخته شود!»

It came about after about three months that it was told to Judah, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has committed prostitution, and indeed, she is pregnant by it.” Judah said, “Bring her here and let her be burned.”

۲۵ 25 چون او را بیرون می‌آوردند نزد پدر شوهر خود فرستاده، گفت: «از مالک این چیزها آبستن شده‌ام، و گفت: «تشخیص کن که این مهر و زنار وعصا از آن کیست.»

When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law a message, “By the man who owns these I am pregnant.” She said, “Determine please whose these are, the seal and cords and staff.”

۲۶ 26 و یهودا آنها را شناخت، وگفت: «او از من بی‌گناه تر است، زیرا که او را به پسر خود شیله ندادم. و بعد او را دیگر نشناخت.

Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I am, since I did not give her as a wife to Shelah, my son.” He did not sleep with her again.

۲۷ 27 و چون وقت وضع حملش رسید، اینک توامان در رحمش بودند.

It came about at the time for her to give birth that, behold, twins were in her womb.

۲۸ 28 و چون می‌زایید، یکی دست خود را بیرون آورد که در حال قابله ریسمانی قرمز گرفته، بر دستش بست و گفت: «این اول بیرون آمد.»

It came about as she was giving birth one put out a hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand and said, “This one came out first.”

۲۹ 29 و دست خود را بازکشید. و اینک برادرش بیرون آمد و قابله گفت: «چگونه شکافتی، این شکاف بر تو باد.» پس او را فارص نام نهاد.

But then he drew back his hand, and, behold, his brother came out first. The midwife said, “How you have broken out!” So he was named Perez.

۳۰ 30 بعد از آن برادرش که ریسمان قرمز را بردست داشت بیرون آمد، و او را زارح نامید.

Then his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread upon his hand, and he was named Zerah.
